It appears that my appreciation for pixel art is so great that PixelJoint can't handle it.

When I rate a new piece, PJ goes down for like 20 minutes. I only realized this after the fifth or sixth time, so... Sorry, guys!

See, I hit 32767 ratings, which is the limit of a signed 16-bit integer, and the rating count refuses to go any higher. It appears that this is causing an overflow error, and so PJ dies for a while when I rate.

Just thought I'd let you know. Sedgemonkey says it should be fixed by midnight PST. :P

(I am amused about (maybe) being the one to realize this and bemused about why rating count was a signed variable in the first place.)

Ha! Nicely done. I hope he makes it a long or something rather than just unsigning it. It won't take long for the number of pieces to exceed 60 thousand whatever.

Just thought I'd post how funny I think that is... No emoticon to express this. Shouldn't be too hard for them to fix on their end though... I don't get why it's signed though, apparently you need those in case a mod deletes all your ratings and more. xD

I think Lollige didn't check his email and crashed it with his 32767 ratings that time.

(Or I just sent something to the wrong address...my bad.)

I don't think it crashes with me too, because I have rated a lot of stuff already!

But ill be nice and wait for a while ;)

Oh, and my email address was correct, while in my profile another one was listed xD
